Marty is one of the most cheerful guitar teachers I've seen. I've spent more time listening to him than my actual physical Guitar teacher. This man has been the structural BACKBONE of my learning
The E pentatonic scale was one of the first things I learned on guitar around 2014, and I constantly saw people moving up and down the neck and wanted to learn so bad... 2 seconds of your video and it all clicked. You're the man!
Thanks for the lesson. It makes much more sense when you have the minor scale formula in front of you, using which you can write down notes of Am scale (A B C D E F G A) and then derive Am pentatonic scale using the positions 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th, which makes A C D E G. Finally download a fretboard image with marked notes and set it as your mobile wallpaper, so you know which notes youre hitting when practising with this video.
Practiced through the run many times, all of a sudden started playing "carry on our wayward son" You're right Marty, so many riffs and songs in this scale!
I have been learning how to play guitar from your lessons for the past five or six years and greatly appreciate the lessons you put out here so generously. They are clear, concise, and very practical. You're a heck of a guitarist and teacher...keep it up, we appreciate it!
For me, Marty is the best guitar teacher on YT. He helped me a lot with these scales and explained everything very clearly in his videos. Keep on teaching and thank you!!!! :)
I have been following you since my guitar journey started 7 years ago with all your song lessons, I got myself to a point I don’t need the direction because I can pick it up by ear. However this stuff is where I want to go now as I feel very confident in rhythm guitar. I credit that to watching videos on guitar over and over .I just wanted to thank you for helping shaping my skill.
You do such great lessons. Whenever I want to learn something new, ur channel is always the first one I check for lessons. This channel and your original "GuitarJamz" channel have really helped me over the past couple years with guitar.
Sir plz make intermidiate lessons where u can teach scales, tell us about major and minor scales, how we create our own chords from any song.....tell about notes...and some technics to create a solo by their own...plz sir it will be very helpful for those who wants to be a good guitarist

You have an incredible teaching style that is really helpful! I have been watching and learning faster than I ever thought possible! Thank you Marty!!!
Marty you are great teacher, been watching your videos the last 7 years, started playing guitar late in life, I've learned alot from you, keep up the excellent 👏👍 work.
Hey Marty, love your videos, for this old crusty dude who hasn't picked up a guitar in 20 years and never learned proper scales your approach is really helpful. You also seem like a great guy...:)
Hey Marty, started playing in Feb 2108, bought tele in March. I'm really moving on all the scales you teach. I find really cool sounds by accident lots of times.
Marty, you have been a great help for me learning to play guitar. I saw GNR with Slash and Duff back in 2016 in Toronto and I got so inspired I bought an acoustic guitar and then an electric. I have learned lots of songs from your youtube page. I've gotten to the point where I'm playing the main riffs and basic rhythm guitar of songs like Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City from your lessons. I'm started learning the Pentatonic Scales now so I can learn all the solos. This lesson helped me understand more theory of how it works. Thank man.
Been playing for about 5 months and I already knew the blues scale (learned from you) but learning the extension made a light bulb go off! Can’t wait to watch pt 3 and 4 great work
I just picked up a guitar last week and I feel like I can shred already thanks to you lol. I know I can’t but your videos are so helpful. You’re a great dude =)
Marty, it'd be super cool if you could tab out some of the little licks that you play in these lessons. It'd also be awesome if you could jam out on this scale at the end to show us beginners what can be done with a little practice.
I think this is really going to help me because I've been having trouble with power chords because I'm not very good at moving side to side on the fretboard, I've gotten really good at staying in a box and moving up & down but this seems to be a good exercise for moving side to side. It's only been 3 about a month since I picked up a guitar for the first time but I really love it & I just have to say that people like Marty are amazing for posting these videos
Late but agreed, I picked up the guitar about 3-4 months ago and have impressed myself by how much I could learn thanks to Marty and some other guys on TH-cam; so much that I even put out and bought myself a really nice strat! (Started with a very cheap mustang)
Hell yeah Marty I have your major extensions down been working on that for the past few weeks along with my other playing, now I'mma dive in deep with the minor extensions!! I am slowly getting better at identifying the notes too! Thanks man!!
Marty, I have looked at other scale extention videos and all they did is confuse me. You are definitely the best at teaching. I can't thank you enough. Bless you.
just memorize the scales man . get a good book that has the most popular scales mapped out. learn the natural scales minor and major. they are exactly like the pentatonic just with 7 notes instead of 5. same shapes same positions though. the only short cut is hardwork.
Thanks so much Marty!!. You have a way of showing me how to do things and it sticks. I've just realized that I'm a visual learner more than a text or tab learner. Trying to learn something from tabs has always been a big stumbling block to me. At 69 many things seem to fall into that category now. Thanks to you, I'm getting back into enjoying guitar again. Many, many thanks. John in New Jersey,USA
Marty, you sir are amazing, I love your blues lessons, I a lot of times don't have my guitar, and I'll write out the fretboard and use a red marker to Mark my roots and a black pen to Mark the scale and a blue pen to Mark the blue note or I've also heard it called the passing note, where trills are commonly available, I was wondering if anyone else out there does the same thing lol, but Marty that hat homie is awesome looking, it's like if you was a bouncer at the blues club or something xD
I have always held off on just using 2 fingers on this extended scale and I feel it has slowed me down from my speed and comfort with the fret board. Not sure were I learned it or why I felt that way but it makes so much more sense to play it with two fingers. I think Marty's goal in life is to have the entire world play better guitar. If it is, I think its working. Thanks for revamping your channel and doing what you do best. Marty for president!!
Thanks for all your work Marty! I'm loving this entire blues guitar series! The only thing I must ask is......can you add more acoustic blues content?? Either way, thanks for what you do!!!
You're way ahead of yourself if you're only two days in- you should be working on chords right now and maybe small three- four note phrases just get your fingers used to fretting a note and following a pattern. Unless you're some kind of prodigy you need to slow down and learn to walk before trying to run. You will never meet a good lead guitarist who can't play rhythm exceptionally well- for a reason. It teaches how to keep time; it teaches how chords are built from scales, how progressions are built from chords, and finally- how solos are built from scales to flow over those chords melodically.
@@stoneysdead689 look this is it . That evil character of yours came . That's what I've wanted to see . I am gonna put some Dirt in your eyes chump you gonna challange me you fail
@@bullymaguire8458 LOL- Yeah sure bud, we're all real impressed. Let me explain something to you super stupid- as long as you're hidden safely behind a keyboard nothing you say or do will scare any one or make them think you're anything other than a punk ass bitch. You keep trying though junior, it's kind of entertaining tbh.
Just love this guy!! Thank you. Just love the way you teach, great enthusiasm....... I am inspired to play every day and I am seeing and hearing a massive difference in how I play. I'm happy 🙃😃😃
Been learning the scale pattern for 7 days and got it down pretty well, now this.... takes it two a whole new level! Thanks Marty! Your a great teacher? 🎸
Like I learned the modes and stuff from u. These scales I’m seeing now is so much fun just cuz I understand the notes on the fretboard. It trips me the fuck out thanks
